DIR. Kelley and Emma Abbott.

Considerable interest naturally at.
taches to the resolution just adopted
by the Alabama Conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
requesting the Rev. d. G. Kelley, d.
D., one Of the most eminent Metho-
dist diyincs in America and mi-siJHl-
~ treasurer Of the General Conference
to resign his official position on ac-
count OF his defense Of Emma Abbott's
course at Nashville in replying to GER
tain structures upon the theatre in
sermon to which she was listening 1t
is expected that similar resolution
will be adopted BY the Solth Carolina
Conference, which meets next week at
Spartanburg.
The policy Of the Methodist Church
has always been recognized as antago
nistic to the theatre. While it is
a somewhat debated question whether
theatre attendance is a matter for dis
cipline, it is an accepted fact that the
Methodist Church frowns upon the
theatre and uses all of It's influence TO
prevent its members from patronizing
what is called "a worldly amusement.
The action against Dir. Kelley is
taken on account of the official posi-.
tiou that he holds in the Church 1t
is thought that an endorsement of
Miss Abbott's course by an official
member of the Church is too near to
an endorsement by the Church. The
resolutions are not in anywise intend
ed as a reflect ON upon the character
of DIR. Kelley, who is recognized all
over the South as Christian gentle
man of spotless character. The same
bravery characterized his action as a
Confederate colonel is clearly seen in
his conduct as minister of the Cos
pei. He says exactly what he thinks,
and in this case he thinks very differ
emily from the Church of which he is
an officer.-NeaUs and Courier.

Man finds-any amount of fault with
woman, yet works tooth and nail to
get her. He calls her extravagant,
yet yearns to pay her bills. She's
heartless, but he devotes months to
finding the spot where that heart
should be. She's tickle, yet he strug-
giles for place in her affections. She
is fekle, but he, noble creature, has
courage for two. She's fraud, but a
darling. She's goose, but a duck.
She's snippy, and sweet. In fact, she's
a chameleon, in the very latest style
of spots and dots and feathers and tx
ings. She's 1.-THE and graceful and
dainty and dear-and changeable as
the wind. Yet she's most desirable
article of household furnishing, and
there are mighty few men who want
to get along without her, ch ameleon-
in a bustle--though she be.-San
Francisco Report.

WHY YOUNG MEN LEAVE N. C.
Prof. Phillips Gives Some Very Plain
Hints of Causes Worth Thinking
About.

Prof. Phillips Gives Some Very Plain
Hints of Causes Worth Thinking
About.
We had geological survey for ma
ny years, and DR.. Kerr did an i'm
mense amount of very valuable work.
He laid the foundation of our histori-
cal and descriptive geology; now let
US build upon it the economical. Are
we to stand alongside of our sister
States and say that we are too poor to
help our own citizens? ? Are we to let
our own active young men seek for
homes elsewhere, declaring that their
own State is too far behind? This is
lust what we are doing. How many
ambitious young men have left North
Carolina for Alabama within the last
five years? More than we have any
record of, and still they go. And why?
Because they feel that their own State
is lacking in enterprise. Is it true ?
They think SO at any rate, and it be-
hooves US who stay at home to inquire
whether it be SO or not. We have
certainly taken two long steps back
ward of late, first in not providing for
the University, and second in abolish
ing the geological survey. Either is
bad enough, both together are very
discouraging. I don't suppose that
any young man has left the State be-
cause the University was not sustain
ed properly, or because the geological
survey was abolished. It would be
absurd to suppose any such thing.
But either may be taken as a sign OF
what our people think concerning such
and kindred matters. We are not up
to the times and never will be until a
new spirit animate5 US, spirit restless,
discontented, exacting spirit which
shall establish among other things a
something or other, call it geological
survey or what not, that shall help us
to give correct and detailed answers
as to what we have in our State.-W
b. Philips IN Ne1U8 and Observer.

BEYOND.

Autumn is dying: Winter is come;
Dead leaves are flying; the rivers are
dumb;
The wind s like knife-one's S fingers
grow numb:
There is snow on the mountain, ice in
the pond,
Winter is with US, but Spring is beyond.
The Old Year is dying; its glory is dead,
The days are all fiying-their glory has
fled.
The bushes grow bare, as the berries
grow red
There is snow on the mountain, ice in
the pond,
The Old Year is dying, but the New is
beyond.
We are all growing old, and life slips
away,
There is bare time for work, and still
less for play;
Though we think we grow wiser, the
longer we stay;
But there S life in us yet-no need to
despond;
This world may wax old. but heaven is
beyond.

And Christmas time it's rich mince pie

wealthy land holder in south Iredell

one of these periodicf religious spells

Joe Daniels Tells a Good story About
Horse Trading.

Years ago there travelled in Eas-
tern North Carolina Methodist pre-
siding elder. He was a good preach
er but better judge of horse flesh.
He always drove fine horses, and was
ever ready 5or trade. On ore occa-
sion he traded horses with q brother
in Franklin county and got the best
of him by Il large majority. The
next year the preacher went to anoth
er section Of the State, but was return
ed three years after, After calling to
see his brother, he again bantered him
for a trade. "All right" said the
man who had been "stucll" before, Il
will trade, but first wait moment
Let US pray" Down he got upon his
knees and said, 80, Lord, bless Bro.
Y, and ., Lord, don't let him
cheat me in this horse trade " But it
is still the tradition that the prayer
did not avail, and that the preacher
came out first best in this trade as he
had done in the other.-EditoriaI

The re opening of the Swannanoa
tunnel, which recently cave1 in, is
one of the biggest jobs the railroad
people have ever had on their hands.
A large force is at work in it, trying
to brace it so that no more dirt and
rock will fall in, but the work of re-
moving what has already fallen in has
not even begun. We understand on
good auth rify that an engineer of the
Northern Pacific Railroad has been
down to see the tunnel and recon-
mends that it be cut out and convert
ed into great cut. To do this, it is
estimated, will require the work of
400 hands two years ana cost a mil
lion dollars. Passengers are now be-
ing transferred 1T The tunnel, walking
about three quarters Of a mile across
the mountain, but baggage aud mails
are still being carried by way Of

Since the above was pu5 in type, the
report comes that tie tunnel is cleared
and trains are running through.

Emerson as the Guest of Jo-Jo.

While Ralph Waldo Emerson was
on his way to California several years
ago he fell in with man who was al
together 50 sociable and chatty that an
otherwise tedious journey was made as
cheerful as possible. This mans name
was Sackett, and he told Mr.. Emerson
that he lived in San Francisco. Mr..
Sackett pointed out all the points of
interest along the way, related lot of
amusing anecdotes and, best of all,
was an attentive listener. The natural
consequence was that Mr. Emerson
came to the conclusion that Mr. Sack
ett was as charming man as he had
ever met with, and it was in this posi-
tive con7iction that he accepted Mr..
Sackett's invitation to dine with him
Immediately upon their arrival in San
Francisco. The next morning Mr..
Emerson was well nigh paralyzed to
